Answer:

It depends on the reaction you perform

Step-by-step explanation:

Ideally, once all the hydrochloric acid is used up, the reaction does not proceed.

This can be checked by using an indicator during titrations to check the pH level during the process, looking for effervescence or colour change, or technically anything that would be characterised only during a chemical reaction and not after.
